As science and technology developed, medicine became more reliant upon [[medication]]s. Throughout history and in Europe right until the late 18th century, not only animal and plant products were used as medicine, but also human body parts and fluids. [[Pharmacology]] developed in part from [[herbalism]] and some drugs are still derived from plants ([[atropine]], [[ephedrine]], [[warfarin]], [[aspirin]], [[digoxin]], [[vinca alkaloid|''vinca'' alkaloids]], [[taxo]]l, [[hyoscine hydrobromide|hyoscine]], etc.). [[Vaccine]]s were discovered by [[Wikipedia:Edward Jenner|Edward Jenner]] and [[Wikipedia:Louis Pasteur|Louis Pasteur]]. | As science and technology developed, medicine became more reliant upon [[medication]]s.
